Apogee DA-16 User’s Guide played simultaneously through the DA-16, you would probably want to synchronize the DA-88 using word clock from a BRC so that you don’t end up with two asynchronous sources. The second function of this button is to select the channel(s) to calibrate in Calibration Mode (page 15). SAMPLE RATE To the right of the SYNC button is the SAMPLE RATE indicator. The yellow LEDs indicate the incoming sample rate from the source selected using the SYNC and CH 1-8/9-16 buttons. The

Apogee DA-16 User’s Guide Channel 1-16 status and level LEDs During normal operation, the brightness of these audio LEDs varies in proportion to the input signal level, to indicate the presence of audio (i.e., they illuminate brighter for “louder” incoming digital signals). In calibration mode, the LEDs will flash to represent which channels are being affected by the UP and DOWN buttons. While in global calibration mode, all of the channels’ indicators will flash since all channels will be affec

Apogee DA-16 User’s Guide ADAT Optical Inputs The ADAT inputs support 16 channels at either 44.1/48 kHz via two receiver inputs, or 88.2/96 kHz via all four receiver inputs using the S/MUX protocol. S/MUX is essentially “double-wide mode for ADAT”, where a pair of channels at (for example) 48 kHz will carry one 96 kHz signal. A single 8 channel input then becomes 4 channels in S/MUX mode. When looking at the rear panel, the following illustrates the connection scheme for either mode. Each box re
